obviously rightfully so our secret agencies like the cia are worried about leaks. they worry that they could put the lives of americans in harm. that has to be balanced with freedom of the press and we have to make sure that the press is not being monitored in their activities. a free press is as fundamental to our freedom and ore democratic system as having robust national security. >> congressman why wouldn't the doj go to a judge and ask that judge to decide whether the threat to security, whether that was enough of a threat to warrant this search of phone records? >> that's exactly the case that we're make in this bipartisan bill. again it has democrats and republicans on board with it. i think that the fact this is in the media might help us move forward on this front for civil liberty. the government needs to show there is a reason to believe that somebody is a legitimate target for abinvestigation. in this case it was estimated that over 100 reporters had their records turned over. >> this is the one we're talking about because this is the one we know about.
